“I can’t say enough great things about Camp Cassey and their staff. From the moment I drop my son off until he is picked up, I feel very comfortable leaving him there and know that he is safe and having fun. This was my son’s first year at this camp so he was a little nervous in the beginning. Now he tells us almost everyday how much he loves this camp, or that Camp Cassey is the best camp ever!” - Camp Cassey Parent, 2019
“I like the way all the counselors look out for all the campers. Everyone is so caring! They have activities planned throughout the day to keep the kids busy and involved.” - Camp Cassey Parent, 2019

CHILD’S INFORMATION Legal First Name *

CHILD SAFE PROCEDURES Parents place their trust in the Y to help their children thrive. Our core values-caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility are part of everything we do. Because of this, we place great value on creating the most child-safe environment possible. We believe when parents are well informed about safety protocols, it greatly assists our constant vigilance of all who have potential access to children. The following should be established zero-tolerance YMCA policies that are regularly communicated with parents. Parents should be regularly encouraged to report any deviation from these policies immediately.
• A child should never be alone with a staff member (but may be separate, if in full view of others).
• Children should not be contacted by YMCA staff except for issues relating directly to currently active YMCA activities (i.e., no letters, email, telephone calls, texts, Facebook, visits, non-YMCA excursions, etc.).
• Children should never receive gifts of any kind from individual Y staff members.
• Children should always be transported in YMCA-identified vehicles (or appropriately identified vendor-operated vehicles), never in a staff member's personal vehicle, and never alone.
• Y staff members should not babysit Y members or program participants. If the babysitting relationship pre-existed the Y relationship, the President of the YMCA of Delaware could make an exception, but a specific acknowledgement should be signed by the parents and the babysitting staff member and retained by the Y.
• Children in child care must sign in and out of programs each day and will only be released to preauthorized individuals.
• Parents who become aware of hazing, bullying, or similar behavior should report the incident to the Y. Such behavior is often the precursor of peer-to-peer abuse and must be addressed.
• Children should be encouraged to discuss their experiences with their parents and identify any behavior or activity that made them uncomfortable. Parents need to be aware that programs like gymnastics and aquatics require some physical contact between adult and child to provide the necessary instruction, coaching, and spotting. A single touch in a normally inappropriate place may not be an inappropriate touch if it occurred while trying to prevent an injury, etc.
• Parents should be provided with the names of at least two separate Y individuals whom they may contact if they believe there is an issue of any kind that needs to be addressed.
• Delaware law requires ALL ADULTS to report cases of suspected abuse to the authorities.
The Y of Delaware has more than 4,000 staff members and volunteers working with youth in the many programs we offer. To keep children in our programs safe, we intensively screen potential employees and volunteers by using a detailed application form, comprehensive interview process, reference checks and criminal background checks. Our employees complete an extensive child abuse prevention training program. Supervisors and managers complete additional training to further promote a child-safe environment. All staff members are mandated to report any suspected child abuse. If you have any questions or concerns regarding a YMCA staff person or program, please inform the program director, associate executive director or executive director at your location. You can make a confidential report to Ethics Point on our website.
Parents are encouraged help prevent child abuse. Here are some suggestions:
• Talk to your child about his or her experiences in Y programs, school, sports, and other activities.
• Drop in on your child’s programs.
• Trust your instincts. Don’t wait to tell us if something seems “strange.” Speak up!
• Every once in a while, ask your child these questions: - Is anyone scaring or threatening you? - Is anyone asking you to keep secrets? - Has anyone said anything to you that made you feel bad? - Is anyone touching you in a way that you don’t like?
• Encourage your child to tell you or another trusted adult if anything happens to him or her.
• Watch for warning signs of abuse: - Unexplainable bruising or other physical markings - Disturbed sleeping or eating patterns - Abrupt changes in behavior-anxiety, clinging, aggressiveness, withdrawal, depression - Fear of a certain person or place - Discomfort with physical contact - A child who abuses other children - Listen and watch for signs of your child receiving special attention that other children or teens are not receiving, including favors, treats, gifts, rides, increasing affection or time alone, particularly outside the activities of school, child care, or other activities.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding a YMCA staff person or program, please inform the Program Director, Associate Executive Director or Executive Director at your location. You can also make a confidential report to EthicsPoint on our website.

YMCA OF DELAWARE BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS & PROCEDURES
* Items with an asterisk are mandatory
CHILD’S INFORMATION Legal First Name * MI Legal Last Name
BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS & PROCEDURES It is the goal of our YMCA to provide a healthy, safe, and secure environment for all participants. The YMCA teaches the core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Children who attend the program are expected to follow the behavior guidelines and to interact appropriately in a group setting.
BBEEHHAAVVIIOORR GGUUIIDDEELLIINNEESS People are responsible for their actions. We respect each other and the environment. Honesty will be the basis for all relationships and interactions. We will care for ourselves and those around us.
When a child does not follow the behavior guidelines, we will take the following steps: 1. Staff will redirect the child to more appropriate behavior2. The child will be reminded of the behavior guidelines and program rules, and a discussion will take place3. If the behavior persists, a parent will be notified of the problem.4. The staff will document the situation. This written documentation will include what the behavior problem is, what
provoked the problem, and the corrective action taken.5. Staff may schedule a conference with the parent to determine the appropriate action that will be taken.6. Staff may schedule a progress check or a follow-up conference.7. If the problems still persist, staff will schedule a conference that includes the parent, child, staff, and program
director. The program director will have all documentation and the notes from the previous conferences for review. If subsequent conferences have to be scheduled, a counselor may also be present.
8. If a child’s behavior at any time threatens the immediate safety of that child, other children, or staff, the parent may be notified and expected to pick up the child immediately. If such a call is placed, an authorized pick up person must pick up the child within one hour.
9. If a problem persists and a child continues to disrupt the program, the YMCA reserves the right to suspend the child from the program. Expulsion from the program will be considered in extreme situations.
The following behaviors are not acceptable and may result in the immediate suspension of a child for a minimum of the remainder of the current day and the next day:
Endangering the health and safety of children and/or staff, members, and volunteers Stealing or damaging YMCA or personal property Leaving the program without permission Continuing to disrupt the program Refusing to follow the behavior guidelines or program rules Using profanity, vulgarity, or obscenity frequently Acting in a lewd manner
If any of these behaviors persists, staff may suspend the child a second time before expulsion. Immediate expulsion may occur if a child is in possession of and/or using tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, weapons, firecrackers or explosives. Any physical/violent behavior may result in the immediate suspension of the camper for the entire summer.
PARENT BEHAVIOR AGREEMENT I have reviewed the YMCA’s Behavior Expectations with my child. I understand and agree to all of the terms presented in this document. I further agree to report any issues or concerns my child shares with me regarding their experience in the program. I understand that the YMCA works to ensure all children are safe and comfortable while at the YMCA and that the YMCA staff will work to resolve issues quickly when they are shared.
